Already Bethesda is announcing details of its first plans for Fallout 3 downloadable content for both the PC and Xbox 360 (Sorry PS3 owners!) In addition to the expansion, Bethesda is also throwing in the long-awaited dev kit for PC users. Named the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation) kit, this will allow players to mod the game and come up their own additions where they see fit. Hit the jump for the details.

It might seem like the Playstation 2 is going the way of the dodo, but it’s not even close to burning out. That’s because Sony Europe’s developer relations manager George Bain announced that it’s no longer necessary for developers to submit upcoming titles to Sony for content approval. This makes the Playstation 2 officially an open platform, allowing indie developers to make their own games without having to pay licensing fees.
You’ll still have to purchase a development kit if you want to create anything worth playing, but with a little persuasion and charm, you can get Sony to lend you one. You’ve also got a better chance of kicking Chuck Norris’ ass.

If you were lucky, last Friday, you walked into an AT&T or Apple store and walked out with an iPhone 3G that you were told to “activate at home.” You, my friend, are one of the lucky ones who was able to purchase an iPhone 3G will little to no hassle (as far as unlocking goes). The iPhone Dev Team probably had a few of these lucky people, considering that their Pwnage tool will unlock the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPhone 3G with ease.
The software should be available to the public soon, but until then, watch the video after the jump to view the proof.

A clever iPhone dev was playing around with the App Store included on the SDK and hacked versions of the iPhone 2.0 firmware. Little did he know that he was about to discover a first look at Apple’s App Store, instead of the usual “cannot connect” error warning.
Just revealed on the Modmyifone forums, here is the very first look at what the iPhone’s App Store will look like, of course with many more applications available. So it would seem that Apple is already playing around with the App Store service, which looks eerily similar to the Installer.app that Apple was trying so hard to stop. — Andrew Dobrow
